PARTNERING IN GOD’S MINISTRY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you meet someone who works for the Lord
Give them your support so they can spread his word
They sacrifice to bring the Good News to all
We need to be there to support them in their cause.
Let’s partner in God’s ministry
It paves the way for victory
Be generous in sharing all that you can
The Lord will bless you and give you a hand.

During Jesus’ time, there were no means of transportation except by horses, camels and donkeys. Most of Jesus’ ministry were done in foot. They walked from one place to another to preach the gospel. They were full of integrity and wouldn’t take anything from unbelievers as per God’s instruction. John was explaining to believers that we need to partner and support the cause of God. Those who are doing kingdom work are giving their best to ensure that the word of God is preached in all the ends of the earth.
There was a time that I partnered with a big international ministry to bring the gospel to those countries that were very poor, I felt blessed doing such support for God’s kingdom.
